Spurious MVP cards?

Did anyone else randomly get sent a new MVP card regardless of your current status? My son received 2 MVP cards the other day after he re-qualified, and I assumed it was just a glitch. Today, however, a new MVP card arrived for me--except that I'm Gold for next year (and already have the new card)?!?

This summer I received new style gold credentials even though I had requalified several months earlier and already had last years creds which are valid through eoy.

Now they'll be sending 75k creds too.

At the start of the year I got a Club 49 MVPG card (I live in Seattle), then a few weeks later I got a normal MVPG card.

I got my MVP card earlier in the week and today got my MVP Gold card. Both for 2017. My guess is that for the coming year they send out all the cards for the thresholds you've crossed.

Got my G75K card this week despite qualifying a couple months ago. Didn't receive any cards for the other levels.

Maybe they are deploying the new-style cards?

I always seem to get incremental cards as a re-qualify for some reason. As a result, I have quite a stack of MVP and MVPG cards in my desk.

I don't carry my gold card anymore now that the phone app has the card and my board room card in it which I can also save to my iPhone wallet.

I just got my Gold card today, about a month after qualifying. I guess AS has (correctly) given up hope that I will march on towards 75K.

I got my MVP card this week, about three months after qualifying ( qualified late July ). Honestly I'd forgotten they even sent physical cards.... Ha!

MVP card arrived last week. Hit it back in April and Gold last month. Guess another one should be in the mail soon.

And... today an envelope from Alaska is welcoming me to MVP status.
